Around 80 ex-Duke players, who call themselves 'The Brotherhood,' will honor their beloved coach Mike Krzyzewski on Saturday for his last home game.
DURHAM, N.C. – Bobby Hurley didn't hesitate when asked about his most meaningful memory of coach Mike Krzyzewski. And it had little to do with the two national championships he won with the Blue Devils – Coach K's first of five rings – in the early 1990s.
"I was done playing for him but he showed me the relationship is lifelong – for the highs and especially the lows. That's powerful to me to know he's someone I can count on in my life. I'll always feel that. It was just an amazing gesture." "It really is a life contract when you play for him. He's always there in our darkest hours," Collins said."And somehow he just knows when we need him. He has three daughters but never had any sons of his own. In a lot of respects, I think he believes that the guys he's coached are like his sons. He treats us like that. He's been a second father to me.
A majority of the 80-plus players who will honor Krzyzewski at the game all traveled to Durham the night before for a dinner with their former coach. Carlos Boozer, who played for Coach K in the early 2000s as a key member of Duke's 2001 national title team alongside Jay Williams, Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy, said he's been giving Krzyzewski some of the same advice the coach gave him over the years – to cherish and take in the moment.
